1Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
1Te phoeiah Derbe neh Lustra khaw a pha. Te vaengah hnukbang pakhat, a ming ah Timothy tah tapkhoeh om. Anih tah Judah nu uepom neh a napa Greek hoel kah a capa ni.
2Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
2Lustra neh Ikonium kah manuca rhoek loh anih te a oep uh.
3Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
3Anih te Paul loh amah neh caeh puei a ngaih. Tedae te rhoek hmuen ah Judah rhoek khaw om tih a napa khaw Greek ni tila boeih a ming uh dongah anih te a khuen tih yahvin a rhet pah.
4And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
4Kho takuem la a pah rhoi vaengah Jerusalem kah caeltueih rhoek neh a ham rhoek loh a tloek oltloek te ngaithuen ham khaw amih taengah a pak pah rhoi.
5And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
5Te dongah hlangboel rhoek loh tangnah dongah cak uh tih hnin takuem ah hlangmi loh pungtai.
6Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
6Phrygia neh Galatia paeng a hil rhoi vaengah Asia ah olka thui sak ham Cim Mueihla loh a mah.
7After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
7Musia a pha uh vaengah Bitunia la caeh ham khaw a noem uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Jesuh Mueihla loh hlah pawh.
8And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
8Te dongah Musia a poeng vaengah Troas la suntla uh.
9And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
9Khoyin ah a mangthui loh Paul taengla a phoe pah. Te vaengah Makedonia hlang pakhat loh pai tih anih te a hloep. Te phoeiah, “Makedonia la ha hlaikan lamtah kaimih m'bom lah,” a ti nah.
10And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
10Mangthui a hmuh nen tah Makedonia la aka cet ham ni pahoi a toem coeng. Amih taengah olthangthen thui ham Pathen loh kaimih n'khue tila a cului.
11Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
11Te dongah Troas lamkah Smothrace la thaeng kat rhoi. A vuen ah kho thai la,
12And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
12te lamkah te Philipi la pawk uh. Philipi he Rom kuthmui kho khuiah Makedonia khosa kho tanglue la om. Tekah kho ah ka om uh vaengah khaw a tue bet ka loh uh.
13And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
13Sabbath hnin ah vongka la voelh ka cet uh tih tuiva kaengah thangthuinah om ni tila ka poek uh. Te phoeiah ka ngol uh tih huta aka tingtun rhoek taengah ka thui pa uh.
14¶ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us : whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
14Te vaengah huta pakhat, a ming ah Lydia, Thyatira kho kah daidihni aka yoi tih Pathen aka bawk long khaw a hnatun. Paul loh a thui te ngaithuen hamla Boeipa loh a thinko a puk sak.
15And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us , saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there . And she constrained us.
15Tedae a imkhui long khaw a nuem sak. Te dongah, “Boeipa taengah uepom la om ham kai nan boelh uh atah ka im ah ha kun uh lamtah pah uh dae,” a ti tih n'hloep uh. Te phoeiah kaimih te tlal n'hloh.
16¶ And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
16Te vaengah thangthuinah la ka cet uh tih hmayuep rhai aka khueh salnu pakhat tah kaimih doe hamla ha moe. Anih long te a hma neh boei rhoek ham bi muep a coeng pah.
17The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
17Anih loh Paul neh kaimih te n'hloem tih, “Hekah hlang rhoek tah Khohni Pathen kah sal rhoek pai ni. Amih long ni nangmih taengah khangnah longpuei a doek uh,” a ti tih pang.
18And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
18Te tlamte hnin takuem a saii coeng. Tedae Paul loh a yakdam dongah rhai te a mael thil tih, “Nang he Jesuh Khrih ming neh ol kan paek, anih lamloh cet laeh,” a ti nah hatah amah te vaeng tue ah pahoi nong.
19¶ And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
19A bibi kah ngaiuepnah loh tal coeng tila a boei rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah Paul neh Silas te a tuuk uh tih hnoyoih hmuen kah boei rhoek taengla a mawt uh.
20And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
20Amih rhoi te imtawt boei taengla a thak uh tih, “Hekah hlang rhoi loh kho khuikah aka om Judah rhoek, kaimih he n'ngaelawn coeng.
21And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
21Roman la aka om kaimih loh doe ham aka tueng pawt tih saii pawt koi khosing te a doek rhoi,” a ti uh.
22And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them .
22Te dongah amih rhoi te hlangping loh a thoh thil. Te vaengah imtawt boei rhoek loh a himbai te a phen pah tih boh ham ol a paek.
23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
23Amih rhoi te lucik neh muep a nan phoeiah thongim ah a hlak uh tih, amih te rhep tawt ham thong boei te a uen.
24Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
24Tebang olpaek aka dang loh amih rhoi te thongim khui la a khueh tih a kho te thinglong neh a khoh pah.
25¶ And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
25Tedae ihdulh ah Paul neh Silas loh thangthui neh Pathen a hlai rhoi te amih thongtla rhoek long khaw a hnatun uh.
26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
26Te vaengah lingluei te muep hinghuen tarha tih thongim kah khoengim khaw hlinghloek. Te dongah thohka te boeih ong uh tarha tih hlang boeih kah hloong khaw boeih hlam uh.
27And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
27Thong boei loh a haenghang vaengah thongim thohka a ah la a om te a hmuh. Te dongah cunghang te a yueh tih amah te ngawn uh la cai. Thongtla rhoek te poenghal ham ni a poek coeng.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
28Tedae Paul tah ol ue la pang tih, “Namah te thae saii boeh. Boeih ka om uh ngawn ta he,” a ti nah.
29Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
29Hmaivang a bih tih a muk phai. Te vaengah a thuen neh om tih Paul neh Silas te a bakop thil.
30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
30Tedae amih rhoi te voelh a lamhma phoeiah, “Boeipa rhoi aw, daem hamla ka saii koinih balae a kuek eh?” a ti nah.
31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
31Amih rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa Jesuh te tangnah lamtah namah neh na imkhui khaw na daem bitni,” a ti nah.
32And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
32Te vaengah anih neh a im khuikah aka om rhoek boeih taengah Boeipa olka te a thui pah.
33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
33Te daengah amih rhoi te a khuen tih amah khoyin tue ah boengha te a pawt pah. Te phoeiah amah neh a taengkah boeih te pahoi a nuem.
34And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
34Te phoeiah amih rhoi te im la a khuen tih caboei a phaih pah. Te dongah Pathen aka tangnah loh a imko te ko a hoe sak.
35And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
35Khothaih a pha vaengah imtawt boei loh palik a tueih tih, “Tekah hlang rhoi te hlah laeh,” a ti nah.
36And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
36Te dongah thong boei loh Paul taengah, “Nangmih hlah ham imtawt boei loh n'tueih uh coeng. Te dongah coe lamtah ngaimong la cet rhoi laeh, “ti ol te a puen pah.
37But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
37Tedae amih te Paul loh, “Roman hlang la aka om kaimih he lungla maila langya ah m'boh uh tih thongim khuiah nan ng'khueh uh he a huep la kaimih n'haek uh aya? Te moenih, amamih ha lo uh saeh lamtah kaimih he n'doek uh saeh,” a ti nah.
38And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
38Hekah ol he palik rhoek loh imtawt boei taengah a puen pa uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Roman hlang ni tila a yaak uh vaengah a rhih uh.
39And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
39Te dongah ha lo uh tih amih rhoi te a hloep uh. Te phoeiah a doek uh tih kho khui lamkah nong sak ham a hloep uh.
40And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
40Te dongah thongim lamloh cet rhoi tih Lydia taengla kun rhoi. Te vaengah manuca rhoek te a tong tih a hloep phoeiah cet rhoi.
